G0602 CNC at work

[@FrancoCNC]

Nice video. I'm in the process of building a small CNC lathe right now. I'll have to check out your other videos see if I can borrow some of your good ideas.

+Franco Go right ahead Happy to Help

Nice part!

[@CNC4XR7]

Thanks you can see she cuts smooth haven't really pushed her yet.

[@David-cd2ye]

Thank you for letting me know,where you purchased the QCTP I visited shars wesite and they have a few different models . Do you remember what model tool holder you bought ? Again thank you for responding

[@CNC4XR7]

AXA 202- 9474 and 1/2" tools

[@milorocky6960]

pro tip: you can watch series on flixzone. I've been using them for watching loads of movies recently.

[@koltonmarco6037]

@Milo Rocky yup, I have been using Flixzone for since december myself =)

Love your enclosure, wish I had one of those on my machine, nice job. I would be pushing those cuts a bit more to try and break a chip instead of getting a rats nest. I know when I first ran my g0602 I was doing it the same way, babying all the rough cuts, but really you gotta get rough and push that thing. I have found for aluminum a .015-.018 step down at .01 IPR will make a nice chip for most operations. What are you using for your control software, mach3, linuxcnc?

[@CNC4XR7]

Mach3 Yeah very conservative on this part there's 6 inches hanging out so I did not want to puts it but I think a increase in doc is needed.

[@JustinHoMi]

Now that it's done, are you happy with the build? Anything you'd change? Do you think those stepper motors are a good size?

[@CNC4XR7]

Very happy with the conversion However there is always things I would change! I would go with a 2 HP motor and VFD Just because is not much different in $. Steppers are fine But I really like the 3 phase on the PM727 so I would go that route. Tray deeper it fills up fast with chips. And I would use the C11gs and make it full CNC from the Start and not install a PoT.

[@mtnton1]

How do you get your feeds and speeds??

[@CNC4XR7]

No real good answer for that. In the beginning I was running the G0602 in ipm. But now I run at constant surface speed and feed per revolution. Normally around. 01 .02

[@David-cd2ye]

Hi Nice set up , just wondering which QCTP you are using and where did you buy it?

[@CNC4XR7]

The one I'm using came from Shars along with the tool Holders.

[@EZ_shop]

Kewl! What are the spacers for?

[@CNC4XR7]

+Crivo152 Thanks, There more Adapters for air intake systems

[@EZ_shop]

+CNC4XR7 Ha ha, are you planning on turbocharging that mill?

[@seimela]

you where taking small cuts that is why could break chips

[@CNC4XR7]

Yes
